BigQuery table not found error on location - google-bigquery

Question

i'm trying to run below script but i keep getting error that the dataset isn't found. The problem is caused by $date on the Select Query, how do I fix this?
My goal is to copy the table from another dataset with data matching based on the date.
#!/bin/bash
date="20160805"
until [[ $date > 20160807 ]];
do
bq query --use_legacy_sql=false --destination_table="google_analytics.ga_sessions_${date}" 'SELECT g.* FROM `10241241.ga_sessions_$date` g, UNNEST (hits) as hits where hits.page.hostname="www.googlemerchandisestore.com" '
date=$(date +'%Y%m%d' -d "$date + 1 day")
done
Below error:
BigQuery error in query operation: Error processing job 'test-247020:bqjob_r6a2d68fbc6d04a34_000001722edd8043_1': Not found: Table test-247020:10241241.ga_sessions_ was not found in location EU

The problem is that you are using single quotes for the query, therefore bash doesn't replace $date with value of parameter. You need to keep double quotes for the query string:
date="20160805"
until [[ $date > 20160807 ]];
do
bq query --use_legacy_sql=false --destination_table="google_analytics.ga_sessions_${date}" "SELECT g.* FROM \`10241241.ga_sessions_$date\` g, UNNEST (hits) as hits where hits.page.hostname=\"www.googlemerchandisestore.com\" "
date=$(date +'%Y%m%d' -d "$date + 1 day")
done
